More about Lynnie
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I bring over 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping individuals navigating challenging inner experiences, including social anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.
I specialize in creating compassionate, affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals and those seeking a progressive, understanding therapeutic approach. My work focuses on helping clients explore self-love, discover personal meaning, and develop resilient strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and interpersonal dynamics.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients in addressing obsessive thoughts, seasonal emotional shifts, codependency patterns, and feelings of emptiness. My approach is collaborative and deeply respectful, honoring each person's unique journey toward emotional wellness and personal growth.
I believe in empowering clients to understand themselves more deeply and develop meaningful, sustainable strategies for navigating life's challenges. Together, we'll work to create pathways toward greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and authentic living.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
